Does anyone knw the time line for spouse sett visas from Mumbai.
The info on the VFS site only mentions Delhi and Chennai processing times. Mumbai (on Page 4) - there is no time line for settlement visas. any ideas anyone?

Do the High Commission send an email/SMS when they receive application?

Is this normal?
